CGIL workers' union and activist groups plan to march and demonstrate in Rome on March 9; participants will gather in Piazza della Repubblica at 12:45 and will march to the Fori Imperiali, where the demonstration will end at 17:30. The event will advocate for peace in the ongoing conflicts in the Middle East and Ukraine, the liberation of hostages and granting humanitarian support to civilians in conflict areas. Several thousand people will likely participate.
Authorities will likely deploy increased security to monitor the event; road travel and transport disruptions will likely occur near the demonstration sites. Public transport in the city will likely be impacted in the hours before and after the event; delays could occur as participants reach the demonstration site and following the event as demonstrators leave the area.
Avoid the protest as a standard precaution. Allow additional time if traveling near the demonstration site. Heed all instructions from law enforcement officers. Immediately depart the area at the first sign of any security disturbance.
